Another fantastic lineup of wines from Obelisco that I have the pleasure of working with. One of my favorite wineries to pair food with.

Long overdo update!

Flour Power had an amazing event a few weekends ago with Stottle Winery in Lacey! 4 wines with 4 pastries. A great turnout with a lot of wonderful guests and BEAUTIFUL wines.

Bonus? Everyone loved my pairings! 🥳🥳🥳

Fingers crossed I get the opportunity to work with the Stottle crew again! Their wines are amazing and lovely for food pairings.

Sweet & Savory Pastry Food/Wine Pairing Is Back!

Kim from Flour Power Banking Company will be whipping up another batch of pastries and paring with our wines next weekend, May 13th/14th. For those who went through this experience a month ago, you know how awesome her pastries are. The thing I really like is her pastries are not just sweet, there is also mouth watering savory! We were literally packed last time, so make sure you get your reservations in.

I'm SO EXCITED for next weekend! I'm back at Category 5 Cellars for a pastry pop up. We're revisiting 2 pairings, and there will be 3 new items!

I love trying new foods from all over the world, and I'm thrilled that my hunch was right..... Next weekend we are featuring chicken shawarma, which is a middle eastern staple. I'm putting a spin on it by wrapping it in buttery phyllo pastry.

The other interesting pairing is a pomegranate walnut chicken pastry. Fesenjan is a Persian stew, usually served with rice or potatoes. I'm taking inspiration for this phenomenal dish and incorporating phyllo pastry!

Not a meat eater? My vegan spanikopita is available as an alternative!

I hope you can make it out for this beautiful collaboration.

, Oh my!

You GUYS. I think I found my soul mate. The wines at Obelisco Winery are so good, they make me blush. I'm very excited to create pairings for their spring club release at the end of the month!

Are any of you familiar with Christina Tosi and Milk Bar? Turns out the crack pie pairs beautifully with the Roussanne at Quiddity Wines. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Pondera Winery is having a release party later this month and I've been asked to sort out a pastry pairing menu. Figuring out 3 savory and 1 sweet.

Flour Power is BACK, and better than ever! FPBC has relocated to Kirkland, WA, which is a very convenient drive to the wineries in Woodinville. 🥳🍷🥰

I've been reevaluating the business model and making connections - Things are expanding in a very exciting way.

Stay tuned for updates, including winery events and a shiny new website!
